[Design and Technology] destech Digest, Vol 129, Issue 10

Thanks Lorraine.
When I did the machinery course I had to supply my qualifications which I
did. The art teachers being told to do the course are not being asked to
provide any qualifications and those that completed the course earlier in
the year also did not have to show they were qualified to do the course. My
faculty leader says this is because the course qualifies them to use/teach
the machines without previous qualifications. She has obviously been told
this by the course operators? or by the department? You can see why I am
confused.
